"STRIKING STUFF" by Jean Gittins.

The story of the 1984/85 miners strike as told through the poems of a miners mum and activist in the North Yorkshire Women Against Pit Closures. Focussing around her own home - the mining community at Ledston Luck, Yorkshire. Publication was funded by donation, with all the money from sales going directly to the "Miners Solidarity Fund" for those miners victimised by the state.

"... the poems are remarkable for their authentic reflection of fears and hopes expressed during the dispute - and in the aftermath." - The Miner.
